HIV/AIDS affects not only physical health but also leads to social stigma, discrimination, and emotional challenges. A strong social network improves the quality of life, reduces psychological issues like anxiety and depression, and promotes overall well-being. Strengthening network sustainability for vulnerable HIV/AIDS patients can enhance emotional support, self-care, and treatment adherence. Conducted in Pudukottai District, Tamil Nadu, the study involved 120 samples, with data collected through the Positive Network and NGO support. The findings offer policy implications, assist healthcare providers in managing affected individuals effectively, and highlight the role of NGO services in improving mental health outcomes and creating a supportive environment for PLHIV.
